The Honest Man's Protector
Atlanta Ga. May 9.—The honest
man’s protector and friend has come
to grief. This will be remembered as
a remarkable gang of men sworn to
burn and kill moonshine informers
the doings of which were exposed by
the newspapers last March. Jack
Lansdown was Captain David Wheel-
er First Lieutenant; George Fields
Second Lieutenant and George Rich-
ards Secretary and Treasurer. Each
member swore to protect each other
in putting down reporting on moon-
shiners. After several houses had
been burned George Coffee one of the
gang was caught and imprisoned.
Coffee turned states evidence led the
officers to the gang’s rendezvous and
handed over their disguises and con-
stitution and by-laws together with
the names of the whole band and
confessed that the gang did the burn-
ings. This brought matters to a
crisis. Arrests of the principal par-
ties followed and their trial is now in
progress. There are seventeen pri-
soners in all. On Friday John Tor-
rester was convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary.
Statistics of Labor Report
New York May 9. —The seventh
annual report of the bureau of sta-
tistics of labor has Deen laid before the
legislature by Commissioner Peck. It
is a long document and goes
extensively into the discussion of
prominent points in the labor ques-
tion. The following statement of
tacts will be read with interest. The
total number of strikers for the past
five years was 9384; of this num-
ber 4432 were successful 431
partly successful 3468 unsuccessful
and fifty pending. The number of
persons engaged in these strikes was
338019; amount lost in wages was
$8042915; lost to labor organizations
by reason of strike benefits and con-
duct of strikers was $1210360. The
estimated gain in wages was $18623-
060; loss to employers from all
causes was $5157942. When the
cause of the strikes was a de-
mand for more pay 5201 establish-
ments were subjected to a demand
the increase was conceded in 2205
cases a decrease took effect in 183 es-
tablishments. There were no changes
in 2.313 cases. Although the causes of
strikes are by no means onfined to
the wages question; it has been found
that once a strike hss set in
for any cause wages usually become
implicated before settlement. The
sumofall strikes investigated dur-
ing the live years shows total of
67804 operatives engaged in success-
ful strikes where wages were increas-
ed the result being an estimated
gain for the year of $5382337 with a
total for the whole number for the
whole five years of $18623060. The
gain per capita during five years
would be about one dollar per week
the number of employes being pre-
sumed as constantly at work.
